Inside

Where will your growth journey take you next? Well the next in the Strategic Growth Forum (SGF) event series took us to Istanbul on the 8th-9th May this year.

Top CEOs, entrepreneurs, influential business and government leaders, investors and advisors from Turkey and around the world shared their experiences on innovation, transactions, growth and what’s shaping the new opportunities in Turkey and beyond.

And Istanbul was the perfect location: the heart of an exciting rapid growth region that represents significant opportunities for entrepreneurs, innovators and large corporates alike. Just as Istanbul’s Bosphorous Bridge connects Europe with Asia, the SGF connected our attendees with a unique gathering of leaders who were keen to explore the plentiful growth opportunities in and around Turkey.

Topped off by world class entertainment from harpist Sirin Pancaroglu at our gala dinner, the whole event was truly memorable – we’re already looking forward to seeing you all next year!

Sincerely,

Mustafa Camlica Country Leader, EY Turkey
